About this study
Official title: A Phase II Open-Label Trial of MucoLock™ Oral Rinse for the Treatment of Stomatitis Characterized by Oral Dysesthesia
The purpose of this research is to test how well people can tolerate MucoLock™ as a treatment for mouth pain or burning sensation and how well it works to reduce mouth pain or burning sensation. Study participants will be asked to use MucoLock™ topical solution as a "swish and spit" solution (similar to mouthwash) three times per day for 5 minutes each time, for 28 days.
- Conditions
- Stomatitis, Pain, Burning Mouth, Burning Mouth Syndrome, Oral Dysesthesia
- Being tested
- MucoLock Oral Gel
- Medical subject headings
- Stomatitis, Pain, Burning Mouth Syndrome
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
MucoLock Oral GelDevice
15 mL, oral rinse for 5 minutes and spit (do not swallow), 3 times per day, for 28 days
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| MucoLock™ Topical Solution | Experimental | MucoLock™ oral gel will be used as a "swish and spit" (similar to using mouthwash), 15 mL three times per day, for 5 minutes each time, for 28 days. Receives: Device: MucoLock Oral Gel |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain score
Pain will be assessed using the VAS with a score of 0 being no pain and 10 being worst possible pain. Pre- to post-treatment change in VAS pain score will be compared.
Measured: 28 days
Secondary outcomes (3)
Change in Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) total score
The OHIP-14 is a 14-item questionnaire measuring how oral conditions affect quality of life, focusing on discomfort, disability, and dysfunction. It uses a 5-point Likert scale (0=Never to 4=Very Often) across seven domains: functional limitation, physical pain, psychological discomfort, physical/psychological/social disability, and handicap. The total score can range from 0 to 56, with lower scores representing better outcomes and higher scores representing worse outcomes. The pre-to-post treatment change for each item and for all items combined will be assessed.
Measured: 28 days
Change in Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) score (dichotomized)
The OHIP-14 is a 14-item questionnaire measuring how oral conditions affect quality of life, focusing on discomfort, disability, and dysfunction. It uses a 5-point Likert scale (0=Never to 4=Very Often) across seven domains: functional limitation, physical pain, psychological discomfort, physical/psychological/social disability, and handicap. Each question will be dichotomized and classified as 'treatment response' if the answer is 'not at all', or 'slightly' to a question such as "how isolated do you feel as a result of this oral condition", and pre-to-post treatment improvement will be assessed.
Measured: 28 days
Incidence of adverse events by severity and relatedness
Adverse events will be assessed at the end of treatment using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5 (CTCAE v5). Adverse event severity will be graded on the scale of 1 (mild) to 5 (death). Relatedness to the study treatment will be determined (unrelated or unlikely to be related vs. possibly, probably, or definitely related). The number of adverse events will be tabulated by grade and relatedness (e.g., number of Grade 1 related events, number of Grade 1 unrelated events, etc.).
Measured: 28 days
